Shouldn't that be this instead:
if (($_REQUEST['id'] != "black") OR ($_REQUEST['id'] !=
"white")) {
echo "wrong color";
} else {
echo "right color";
}

Let me rephrase it. Your color should be black or white to be the

In that case you should change it to
if ($_REQUEST['id'] != "black" AND $_REQUEST['id'] != "white") {
echo "wrong color";
} else (
echo "right color";
}

Subject: [PHP] if statement with or comparison (newbie)
I'm trying to set up a simple conditional, something like this:
If my_variable is NOT equal to (black or white)
echo "wrong color"
else
echo "right color"
Here is what I have tried:
if ($_REQUEST['id'] != ("black" or "white")) {
echo "wrong color";
} else (
echo "right color";
)
However, no matter what I enter, I always get response "right color".
I should add that if I change the if statement to:
if ($_REQUEST['id'] != ("black"))
then I get "right color" when I enter "black" and "wrong color" for
everything else.
Would you please point out what's the trivial thing I'm missing
here...
